The eyes are always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index

is an evidence that the system has
become disordered by Scrofula, for
which Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best
known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced painful in-
f1ammation in my eyes, caused me much
suffering for a number of years. By the
advice of physician I commenced taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. After using this
medicine a short time was completely

mile south of this city, this afternoon. the atten
ton of Cleo. Straub was attracted ~ a neatly
pinned bundle at the waters edge. On being
brought to the shore and examined the contents
proved to be the body Of a male child. Straub
promptly informed the authorities, and they
have gone after the body. The officers have no
clew as to who the guilty persons are, but from
the fact that the paper in which it was wrapped
was intact it is thought that the babe had been
consigned to the water at the place where found

curious little animal, which is generally
known as the feck O. gold. though it also
rejoices in equally glittering names OF

The little fellow undoubtedly belongs to
the gopher tribe. The feck O. gold is OF
general golden hue, This hue represents
the various shades of gold, from the
duller colors of the precious metal in its
native state to the brilliancy given by the
stamp at the Mint. The dul.er hues are
blended on the body, while the brighter

tail is the glory Of the feck O. gold, and
the wonder of the beholder. Fifteen
inches in length, or more than three times
| as long as the little animal Of which it is
